Applying for Admission to Oregon Tech Wilsonville

Oregon Tech Wilsonville suggests you attend an Admissions Advising Appointment before applying. This session will allow you to get more detailed information about Oregon Tech Wilsonville, admissions requirements, and answers to your general questions. If you have already applied and been admitted, please call 503.821.1250 for an advising session to map out the most direct path to reach your educational goals and objectives.

Once you have attended an Admissions Advising Appointment, you may complete and submit the appropriate application. The majority of Oregon Tech Wilsonville students use a Dual Enrollment Application in cooperation with one of our local Community College partners. This allows students finishing their associate's degree to get a jump start on their bachelor's degree. The Dual Enrollment programs also allow students to take lower division classes that Oregon Tech Wilsonville may not offer at the time. Oregon Tech offers rolling admissions throughout the year, but you should observe our admission deadlines for each term. March 1st is Oregon Tech's priority application deadline for scholarships and other financial aid. Having a valid FAFSA on file by the date assists students in maximizing their eligibility for limited funds.

Please read through the various admission requirements. If you need additional information or have questions, please call 503.821.1250 or 1.800.422.2017. We want to help you achieve your educational goals!

Submit official SAT or ACT scores, if transferring fewer than 36 credits and if you graduated from high school less than five years ago.

Submit official high school transcripts if you graduated from high school in or after 1997.

Once we have received all of the items to apply, Admissions will make a decision and contact you regarding registration. Once admitted, the Registrar's Office in Klamath Falls will complete a Transfer Evaluation Report, which will include the number of transferable college credits, your cumulative GPA in the transferable work, and which general-education requirements you have fulfilled. This will be made available to you on Web for Student. If the evaluation of your college transcripts shows that you have less than 36 hours of transferable work, you will be asked to send high school transcripts and official SAT or ACT test scores. Acceptance of vocational/technical courses may be granted after registration if your administering department determines the courses have satisfied certain baccalaureate requirements.
